Looking to stick around town when shopping for the holidays? For this year's gift guide, we gave readers of the Times Union's On the Edge blog a specific area in the region, then asked to share items they loved. We received more than 100 responses over the various posts.

This time, we've highlighted food items available in Clifton Park and Saratoga Springs, but you can see the full list by going to http://blog.timesunion.com/kristi and searching for "gift guide."
